Description

A long time favorite in our gardens and one the butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting, the ‘Gateway’Joe Pye Weed is a more compact North American Native selection that produces large 12 to 18 inch diameter dome-shape clusters of dusky rose pink flowers all summer long and into early fall. Gateway grows shorter (4-5′ tall) and bushier than the species with tighter flower clusters that put on a spectacular show in the summer garden. Erect stems are clothed in lance-shaped dark green leaves up to 8 inches long that contrast nicely with the deep wine red stems.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall, the Gateway Joe Pye Weed is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in perennial borders or behind low growing shrubs in landscape borders. A fine addition to butterfly gardens, pink theme gardens and consistently moist bog and meadow gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2 feet apart for groupings; 5′ or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Eupatorium ‘Gateway’ is easy to grow in a consistently moist, humusy and fertile soil. It thrives in full to mostly sun however tolerates some light afternoon shade.

Plant Long & Prosper!

Arrived well packaged and in good condition, so my review is based entirely upon that. I have only planted traditional (native / wild) Joe Pye weed in the past, so it will be interesting to see how these turn out, though they may not bloom until next year.——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase!
